ASHES

Well I planted a garden in your backyard
Everyday I loved it more
And I gave it everything I had to give
Never asking myself what for
I prayed it wouldn't wither and waste away
All your flowers die these days

So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go
Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow
Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know
They say from ashes, flowers grow

Then I planted a garden of my own
I didn't see it as fancy or fine
But I gave it everything I had to give
Good or bad well, I knew it was mine
I was sure that it would wither and waste away
All my flowers are fine these days

So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go
Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow
Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know
They say from ashes, flowers grow

I need to know that if I break down
If I gave in
If I made a sound
If I break apart
If I rise above
I need to know

So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go
Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow
Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know
They say from ashes, flowers grow
From ashes, flowers grow
From ashes, flowers grow
